o   Personal observations of how this applies to the Christian woman today.

Judges 4:4-10

• The Christian woman is ever watchful, and recognizes her role in fulfilling the Will of God, communicating truthfully and effectively in every situation.
• In our service to others, it is the job for us women to settle any disputes amongst our children, and even between our husbands and our kids – being neutral and clarifying both sides justly.

2 Kings 4: 8-13 

• The Christian woman looks for ways she can be helpful to others without asking for anything in return.
• In our service to others, us women need to be willing to open our home to anyone who wants to visit or needs a place to rest.

Proverbs 31: 10-31 

• The Christian woman does not burden others with her worries, not even her husband and children, until she has first sought wisdom from the LORD.  She seeks out solutions to her problems and reaps the rewards of her perseverance, especially from her husband and her children who proclaim it to anyone who will listen.
•  In our service to others, us women shouldn’t be afraid to step outside our comfort zone to help others.  Our husbands should be able to trust our judgment, and our kids should feel at ease with our decisions.

1 Timothy 5: 1-16

• The Christian woman is aware of her physical limitations but does not dwell in self-pity.  She does not purposely take on more than she can handle at one time, however she makes herself available as often as is needed.  She is not too proud      to ask for help and refrains from casting judgment on others who cast a blind eye or deaf ear to her plight, leaving all in God’s hands.
• In our service to others, us women should not hide behind our weaknesses, but work with them as an invalid would with crutches.  Some effort is better than no effort.  We should also not boast in our abilities or become overconfident to the point of believing we can do more than we are capable of.  We should not be afraid to ask for help, and we should not be bitter and/or resentful if help is not available for any reason.
